N/A

Markets. We are seeing a bottom process on gold and also a bottom. We are definitely in the bottoming process or well beyond it. It feels like the bottom now. New money is starting to come into the sector. He is not expecting tax loss selling this year in resource and precious metals. If you have no exposure you should build a position over time.

BUY

Added to his position recently. A low cap-X project. Not a huge deposit, but 90-100,000 oz per year. He quite likes it. In a more positive market he would have expected a lot of yesterday’s news.

BUY

Visited mine earlier this year. Has been around for 80 years. High Grade. Had a longer ramp up compared to others this decade. They had to train a work force. Increased hoisting capacity to get more waste and ore out of the mine. They are expanding their mill. Are addressing every issue they have. Thinks they will get through.

RISKY

Sold part of their company to AUX. Columbia. Existing small scale mine. Some interesting resources. Early stages, Interesting. Have to prove it up.

HOLD

Market doesn’t care about these small exploration stocks right now. Have a deposit in Timmins right next door to Gold Corp. It is truly spectacular. Gold Corp could make a bid for them some time.

HOLD

Brazilian mine going into production this fall. A property in Romania with millions of ounces of gold and copper. ABX took a stake in it several years ago. It is frustrating that companies are not being paid for what is in the ground and they will be producing. It will pick up.

BUY

A fabulous team. Have their hands in the fire in several different places in the Red Lake Camp. Surprised G-T has not taken them out. Thinks they will find even more oz in resources.

N/A

Is the mining atmosphere in Ecuador turning positive? It became obvious the country was not very mining friendly. He is still skeptical that investment dollars will flow into this country. He is still wait and see.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 30/12, Down 27.81%) Continues to be a good mine in Mexico, creating free cash flow and ramping up production. It is just that the market is off and you can’t do anything about that. The gold price will dictate what happens.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 30/12, Down 46.21%) They have not done anything wrong. A good looking assets but the market doesn’t care. Would still buy it.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 30/12, Down 11.93%) About to ramp up production. Going to be one of the biggest silver mines on the planet. They are doing everything right. Low cost producer. He still likes it.

BUY

Likes it. One of the highest grade, largest deposits in Columbia right now. 5 million oz resource that will get bigger and be in production in the next couple of years. Well financed to execute on their current strategy.

RISKY

Congo. Likes to manage his risk there. Used to trade at a big discount. Are expanding their mine and are a little tight for cash right now. Will have to refinance it. An interesting asset. Nice looking mine, but they have to raise capital funds.

WEAK BUY

Been involved for many, many years. Have not met expectations over the last couple of years. Had to take on some debt and stock got cheap. He increased his position. Thinks gold will go up and so will this stock. Higher gold prices will start to skate them onside. They have to execute and to manage dilution.

BUY

Have done an absolutely spectacular job of building out a silver company, close to 10 million oz of production and expecting to increase it still. Keep costs down and manage them. Once silver price starts running this stock will be much higher than where it is.
